I want to mount this on the ceiling to a light a 48"x54" picture. Will this light illuminate the art evenly or give a circular "flashlight" effect?

Nope would not look nice enough for that would be shadowed. Better off trying something else for that.

No, the light will not light up evenly. There will be some (small) shadow between the LED spots. There might be a distance that will minimize the shadows, but you will have to experiment and there is no guarantee that all shadow will disappear at some distance.The only way I can see to really minimize shadow is to use 2 or 3 of the lights slightly staggered from each other.Hope this helps.

are you getting just one or more than one? Either way, since there are 4 light burbs on each, it's definitely going to create circular flashlight effect. If you put it on high like on ceiling, it may light evenly, but it's going to be pretty dim. (almost similar as nonexistent)

I tried to light 24"x30" photo of my grandson with 2 of my flutes light and it had too many shadows.You might do better with a fluorescent light. I think you would get better results with a small fluorescent light.

It is a more focused light than most ceiling fans that have 3 bulb pointed at different directions. I wouldn't use it as the only light for a room but over a couch or table it will hit that area and the surrounding. Hope that helps.

I had it in a small bedroom roughly 10x12 and ended up using two more to really get everything glowing. It's good for anything within 3 or 4 feet on the ceiling. It's somewhat limiting in that the fixture design is mirrored and shaped so that no light is cast directly above it.

I have the lamp on one end of a work table that is 4 feet long and 16 inched deep. At full bright, the lamp illuminates the entire surface, but is brighter at or near the lamp. If it were elevated above the surface in the middle back of your desk, it should provide decent work light on most of the surface. This is LED light, not incandesant, so at the same brightness it has a softer bluish appearance. I hope this helps your decision.

Although it has 2 brigthness settings, in my opinion, even in the brightest one it is not bright enough to be used as a conventional accent light. Instead it is more of a "suggestive" (low key) light rather than an accent one. Nevertheless, the width of the beam for an object of this size would not be a problem.

I ordered it and returned it...I would have used it for cross stitching and I didn't give enough of a circle light. I now use a Daylight lamp which seems to have a larger surface of light. This might be OK for a desk if you are working right under it.

I have one that I bought to make corn hole game boards. I think 6 inch might be a larger hole than needed for a ceiling light. Quality was good for the price.

I use it on my roll top desk, the middle level is bright enough to do my paper work. Not bright enough to light up an entire room.

I agree with previous answer. We hung ours from a 17-foot ceiling and project onto a 10 X 20 wall that is only 15 feet away; this is in our 'hi-tech' area with subdued lighting and it gave us a nice effect.

If mounted reasonably high it will do it. Whilst the light is very bright at the source, the area it illuminates could be described as a reasonable but soft light. Happy with mine

The picture size you describe would not be covered by this light. Perhaps you could use 2 lights if you want, that would cover it.

I put it on the ceiling in the hallway, and it works. It depends on how low your light holder on the wall, it won

Mine is installed on a cathedral ceiling. It is bright enough for a family room, but you would have to be near it to read comfortably. I am going to try a bright white or daylight bulb. The soft white bulb along with the frosted globe makes the light too yellow. On a scale of 1 to 10, the brightness is about a 7. That being said, GET THE FAN! You will get more compliments than you can handle! We don't turn it past medium speed because on high it will blow you away!

I doubt if you would be happy with this light on a picture that large. The light is only 9 inches long, and not terribly bright, so centering the light on a picture that wide is probably asking too much.

I can't give you the exact specifications but I do know that the beam it projects seems fairly narrow. You'll have to back up a ways to get it up to 10' x 10'. That might effect how bright the image is, so you might be well advised to allow for darkening the room a little bit. The image that I usually project is about 5'x5' from about 5 or 6 yards away. That's because the presentations I make are usually with groups of only 20-30 people.

It depends on how bright and saturated you want/need the effect to be. I threw it on a 20 x 12 foot wall from a distance of maybe 10 feet away. It was brilliant and sharp and fairly all encompassing (It was night time - with some ambient light around) Double that distance and the effect and coverage suffers greatly.

Our artwork is about 45 X 50 and it is good for that. I don't know about the bracket, only to say it the width of the light. However, you do need to know that the remote has never worked, and my husband decided not to send the entire thing back to get it replaced. I don't know if we would have received on that did work, but ours does not. He is tall enough to switch it on and off without the remote, so its not a problem. Just beware.
